In this aquascaping tutorial we’ll guide you through each stage of the creation of a huge planted tank layout by founder of The Green Machine and professional aquascaper James Findley. ow.ly/Rk3O3095eC9 Find the Video, Transcript, Photos & Setup Specification in this article.
Aquascapes are fine-art tropical fish tanks where the focus is on plants and natural décor, rather than fish.
This tank is a huge 5ft x 5ft x 2.5ft acrylic tank- the same tank used in "Nature's Chaos" aquascape which you can find several videos for in our channel.

By far the best aquascaping youtube channel online... these aren't even just normal videos... it's like an artistic masterpiece haha. I just sit here for the entire duration of the video with all the lights off eating popcorn watching these videos, it's mesmerizing

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

+LFCooledWhip thanks! Glad you enjoy our videos 😊

Ondria True. There's more informational value in these videos

[@Digitalfiendscom]

Wow, I thought I was weird getting so hooked on these videos - I guess I'm not the only one. They are so professionally done, informative, and just plain mesmerizing...relaxing even. *thumbs up*

[@michaelwoodcock1476]

I'd do almost anything to have free range on an aquascape, the ideas my brain goes through while watching this is overwhelming.

[@ArmouredUnicorn]

Yeah I'm envious of james having the best of the best at his disposal to let his creativity just flow out!

[@MoeNastrali]

Sitting in my room with low ambient lights and watching this entire video muted while playing Al Gromer Khan's "Almond Blossom Day" in the background was one of the most soothing experiences I have ever had on youtube. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@ionse]

The music, the voice the entire video relaxes me.

[@wyzemann]

Anyone incapable of appreciating the sheer brilliance of this artist's fine works should renounce their humanity!

[@Fabdizzle757]

I had a 180g saltwater fish Tank that I recently sold. I was going to get a bigger tank. But now I'm very interested in freshwater gardens. Didn't know they can be this beautiful. Gives a calming feeling and shows the work of God. I plan on starting a project soon. Something about these under water gardens that is so satisfying.

[@rickykidz]

I got here from watching secret garden ideas. I have never seen anything so stunningly beautiful. Masterpiece!!

[@sandrakonechy5236]

YES!!!!!! a new video. Thank you Green Machine for another inspiring aquascaping video.

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

Enjoy! :)

[@Karmakazeez]

2 years later i'm watching this again. So calming and educational.

Never ceases to amaze me that silicone holds all that pressure together. Great aquascape, lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us 👍🤩

[@vargmien4226]

Something very peaceful about watching a man build a small world by himself. Thank you for the wonderful videos. You have earned a subscriber in me.

[@Otjmore]

My son ask me for a kitten for his birthday... so I talked him into a fish... then I found aquascapes and then I found the green machine. And now I’m building a 55 gallon aquascape. Thank you TGM

[@ShillDozer]

My daughter wanted an angelfish for her birthday. After tons of research I became obsessed. We came home with a 55 gallon and filled it with plants. Been a few years now and my daughter pretty much lost interest but I am still building more tanks.

[@joshyboy82]

This was beautiful. Stumbling across this channel late at night was one of the better things I've done, late at night. 11/10

[@franziskalange4921]

So Beautiful.Respect for this .That looks like a little Peaceful place.👌👌👌

[@AquaTVChannel]

I love your fish tanks. It is the beginning of my passion

[@howlinhauler]

there's something about open space of rocks or substrate that gives the feeling of nature similar to a traditional Japanese courtyard and this is why the original chaos will always be tops to me. This scape seems like a Dutch with hard scape elements. thanks for another wonderful video of this outstanding tank.

[@arnabrakshit5736]

In one word..... Wonderful!!!!! Wonderful!!!!! Wonderful!!!!!

[@michaela-be4le]

pure genius is what it took to create such a piece of art! mr. findley.... respect.

[@hypersapien]

Just found your channel a few days ago- I was bummed to see you hadn't done a video in 9 months. Now all of a sudden you're back with a fresh video, thank you =)

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

We've got more planned too :)

[@pixazelz]

It's not a joke I cried when I saw the final result (those were salty tears it hurt )because I was so moved by the beauty of this .. I would really like to sit in front of the tank looking a it for hours forgetting for a little all my problems and just relax ..

[@user-nl7vz4wt3t]

Stunning. If I ever won the lottery, and brought a large home. I'd get you guys to build one in my house as a centre piece!

[@MrRechtsfuss]

Who else would pay money to do this? A huge tank and an aquaristics shop behind for all you need. It must be a dream come true!

[@sulusharangi8977]

By far this is the best aquascaping. It could be never ending. It’s too enjoyable. I want to learn through your website but it is too late as I am of just 60 years. It’s beautiful sir. Your creativity is undoubtedly adorable. Thank you to give us such an aquatic art to learn and to earn.

[@Hælos.Ezequiel]

It's 3:29 am I should be sleeping but I cant help watching these videos. Their so calming and soothing to watch. EVEN THE NARRATORS VOICE ISN'T ANNOYING! :D Welp, you've don it James, all in all another perfect video.

These aquascaping videos are a great way to calm down and before sleeping. It would be awesome to have 30 or 40 minute recordings of your aquariums with calm music in the background

Stunning. Just stunning.

[@christine-no8ml]

Planning for an aquascaping project this is my first time but I already had a 36x18x18 aquarium which is pretty large for a begginner but I have already bought the aquarium so it would be bit of a challenge for a newbie like me. Was not really planning for an aquascape but just to help my young daughter by setting up a regular aquarium with fish have her appreciate nature at her young age. But aquascaping is the ultimate nature replica compared to a regular aquarium therefore give better exposure and appreciation to nature at her young age. Your videos definitely helped my plans and im have gained a lot of information that I can actually push through with a plan.

[@jayanson4618]

Just absolutely stunning. I have seen all your videos and I've learned so much from them. I've seen most of them several times. Please continue the great and inspiring work. Very much appreciative, Jay from Wisconsin.

[@christinaestrada2471]

I'm getting into aquascaping and I'm trying to gain knowledge to do my own 20 gallon tank, and I must say these videos are amazing for learning the right steps and tools to use. It's also great as asmr, it's very soothing! Love your work!

[@Jacob562622]

I just stumbled across you guys, this is one of the best things I've ever seen. You are like the Bob Ross and I mean that in the absolute best possible way. I'm defiantly inspired to try my own aquascape now.
